Sääksmäki Bridge, Suspension road bridge in Valkeakoski, Finland.
The Sääksmäki Bridge is a steel suspension bridge spanning roughly 155 meters across Lake Vanajavesi, now carrying Regional Road 130. Its design allows vehicles to cross the water and continue through the Valkeakoski municipality.
Construction of the bridge was completed in 1963 and created a vital link for the Pirkanmaa region, initially carrying Main Road 3. Its role changed after 2000 when the road network was reorganized for modern traffic patterns.
The structure stands as a reminder of how post-war Finland tackled practical problems with industrial design, reshaping the way people moved through Pirkanmaa.
The bridge is accessible by vehicle over Regional Road 130, providing a straightforward crossing. Visitors can stop at nearby vantage points to view and photograph the structure against the water.
The bridge offers a striking visual presence when viewed from nearby walking paths along the lake shore. Photography enthusiasts often capture the steel cables and pylons framed against the water.
